CULTURE. — Seed of the Sweet varieties is liable to rot if planted in wet or cold ground. 

 Yet if we have an early warm spell in spring, it may pay us to take some risks. Often the 

 plants, when once up, will escape injury by a belated light frost. Plant in warm soil, making 

 the rows 3 feet apart for the dwarfer early sorts, and 4 feet apart for the taller late sorts. 

 Hills to be 2 to 3 feet apart in the rows. For succession plant every two weeks up to July loth.
